Chelsea is one of the Big teams in England, right now there's no hope of taking a trophy home this season, not only that ,look at their position in the premier league, it's obvious that there's no miracle that can get them back to top 4 with the number of matches remaining in order to be able to play in next season's champions league, even Europa is not certain for them as at the moment.

Remember the huge sum amount of money that Thomas Tuchel spent in signing those players during his last days in Chelsea, Even Graham potter was also given some amount of money too during his time which he used to got in this new guys right in there. So if you sum up these stuffs, my assumption about Chelsea is not too bad mate!, because the facts are clearly seen.
Chelsea fans must be very disappointed with the performance of their favorite team this season. In almost all competitions including the UCL they have almost no hope of surviving. On the other hand, they have to accept the fact that in their domestic league they are now equal to the mid-table team.

The funds that have been spent are countless, but to get better and consistent results they are so difficult. It's a shame, even though in the past two seasons Chelsea have lifted the UCL trophy and now they are even having a hard time being in the same competition.

The Arsenal team is doing great in the English Premier League, and is competing with Manchester City. However, Arsenal's performance in other leagues is slightly lower than in the Premier League. But Arsenal are much better than they were in the past.
Even though Arsenal have shown a better performance than last season this season, Arsenal still have to be wary of Manchester City because Manchester City's chances of winning first place in the Premier League are still very open. Apart from that, if I compare Arsenal's performance to Manchester City's, I think Manchester City's performance this season is still much better because until now Manchester City can still compete in two major competitions.
yes, overall Man City does have a better game performance than Arsenal. but Arsenal has consistency in collecting better points than Man City.
in League competitions, the team that consistently collects the most points will win. the point difference is getting closer, and Man City is reopening the opportunity to defend the Premier League title. if you look at the remaining matches, Man City has a pretty good chance to overtake Arsenal.

Yes, 2 goals is not far enough away, so Real Madrid still have to make sure they don't lose focus in the second leg later. A Don Carlo seems to have understood things like this, because he is an experienced coach. He will not underestimate Chelsea, who have the conditions they are today. Borussia Dortmund should be a valuable lesson for them not to do the same.
I don't think Don Carlo is the type of coach who likes to underestimate opponents, he will not underestimate Chelsea in the second leg match later even though Madrid won 2 - 0 in the first leg match yesterday, of course Madrid will still score goals because I know they will not play defensively, even though they have led with enough results, there are always surprises in football so you have to be vigilant about that even though Chelsea is still in poor performance, even in the domestic league Chelsea has experienced a drop in the rankings in the league standings and that is really sad.

Madrid as the defending champion certainly knows how to deal with their opponents in this UCL championship so I believe that Chelsea will not qualify for the next round, but Madrid must not be proud and remain consistent, Madrid will return to victory in the second leg meeting later to play at home chelsea.

Real Madrid's style of football does not adhere to a defensive system, but rather an offensive game. so, they will not let Chelsea dictate the course of the match in the second leg later. after all, Madrid did not have much choice but to appear all out in the Champions League. because, as we know. Don Carlo has no other choice but to target this competition trophy. because for La Liga, you can almost be sure that Barcelona will win the trophy this season. that means, Don Carlo focuses his team on the Champions League more than any other competition. Currently, Madrid has one step towards the next round. that means, they only need to maintain consistency when playing matches at Stamford Brige, Chelsea headquarters.

Speaking of Chelsea, this team is currently in an uncertain condition. yes, in just one season, they have replaced several coaches although two of them are interim. very unpleasant situation, plus disappointing their fans.
speaking of Champions League matches, the probability that Chelsea has is very slim. even so, hope is always there. at least, they will try to do their best. so, we just follow every development of these two teams.

With all the efforts done on Chelsea so far, in trying to bring back Chelsea into form, right from the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and to the sacking of Graham Potter to bringing in Lampard now, yet things seem to be worsening. I'm beginning to think that Chelsea has entered and is facing their down time as a football club.
I wouldn't assume too much about Chelsea even if they haven't done well this season. Chelsea is a good team that will most likely return to good form if handled by a good coach too, of course that is their problem at the moment. So I think your assumptions about them are too bad to even be completely unreasonable.

That's correct and Chelsea is a great team they earned many achievements in the Premier League and champions league also there were many famous players playing on this team but still, they are not in a good situation right now in both Champions League and Premier League also after losing the last game against Real Madrid with a 2-0 result there is not any chance for them even in the second leg against Real Madrid.

I don't have big expectations from Chelsea side in the rematch against Real Madrid. But still there is a fact that they have only the Champions League left for achieving a success. Therefore they have to attack with all they have got in the rematch no matter what. I believe most probably we will watch a match dominated by Real Madrid but who knows maybe I will get wrong.

Especially after seeing Chelsea losing by only 2-0 I must admit that I'm surprised. I would have expected a bigger goal gap there. Because Chelsea are a really hopeless case right now. Or maybe the same thing will happen which happened with Liverpool. Real Madrid didn't get a big result in Santiago Bernabeu but things can be much more interesting in Stamford Bridge. Real Madrid play great against every team away or home unless they face a big resistance.
it is very possible when you see the performance of these two teams as if they have a significant difference and it is clear that Real Madrid is an opponent that is not equal to Chelsea at this time.
apart from the victory which was only 2 goals but I saw the performance of the team as a whole which in my opinion there is not the slightest possibility for Chelsea to be able to get up and turn things around.
Real Madrid vs Chelsea is an unequal match, Real Madrid will advance to the semifinals easily.

The only efforts that was made in bringing back Chelsea to form was the amount of money that was wasted in signing some of the players that aren't contributing nothing to the Chelsea team right now nothing much. The sacking of Thomas Tuchel wasn't a good effort as it added nothing positive to the growth of Chelsea rather it made their form to depreciate from bad to worse.
As so much has changed at Chelsea I hope all the fans are aware that the team needs time to settle in and form over time. I don't agree about the lack of positive impact on Chelsea at the moment, but I do agree that Chelsea just need to do a better job of finding the best coach instead of Lampard. Chelsea will probably be better next season, but I no longer expect much from them other than just staying in the Premier League.

You can't sign average players with huge amount of money and not get a good coach to manage them that's too bad and that has been the problem of Chelsea right now lack of management and until they get a good manager that will work effectively with the quality of players in the team Chelsea isn't getting better. The owner of Chelsea sacked Tuchel and brought in Graham Potter who couldn't achieve what Tuchel achieved and then Potter was sacked you brought in Lampard  who is yet to get his first trophy as a manager what are you expecting to get with him good results? Dam they can't get anything good unless they bring in a manager that will kick some players out and work with those who is willing to get good results.
Of course Chelsea are struggling to find a better manager than Tuchel, Graham Potter and Lampard, but forget about this season and see what they do next season. Management needs time to agree on a new coach so be very careful as there is a lot of internal and external pressure at Chelsea at the moment.

Im waiting for arsenal to lose other points again. That will give man city more opportunity to take over the trophy. City is having biggest chance to win UCL this season.
I'm not sure Arsenal can lose the standings and the points they have achieved at the moment, but we never know what will happen in the next match between Arsenal vs. ManCity, if in the next game Man City wins it is very likely that what you say can happen, but is it possible....! does not seem.

I see that the Man City team is not serious in the UEFA Champions League this season, it is different from last season, this season alone what I have seen has been 4 defeats for Man City in the UEFA league, there are many reasons for Arsenal not to lose and there are reasons for Man City can't score points and beat the current Arsenal 51 vs. 48 points, because many defenders left Man City, this injured player is a bad sign for Man City to beat Arsenal and lose points.

You can see for yourself how Man City messed with the defenders it still doesn't work, even worse than expected, for that what you say, for me doubtful chances and take good points for Man City, I believe Arsenal can survive. this season.

All teams have experienced difficult times, including Manchester City and also Manchester United. So there's no good reason to say this team ended without a better future. Do you remember how long Manchester United struggled to get back to good form and win as many titles as they used to? Even they have not been able to do it after Alex Ferguson retired.

Premier league is the only place for arsenal to get a trophy for this season. Since arsenal already kicked out from europa league by sporting lisbon and i think that arsenal will have very bad result this season if arsenal will not even win a single trophy.

Arteta is putting everything into the EPL right now. It will be very embarassing result if arsenal was performing like it's the strongest candidate in EPL but it won't get a trophy at the end of season. Im sure that so many fans from another club will be mocking it. Arsenal will be facing weak team soon. It will be so easy for arsenal to win against westham. It will be so good if arsenal gets draw or loses against west ham.

Im waiting for arsenal to lose other points again. That will give man city more opportunity to take over the trophy. City is having biggest chance to win UCL this season.

I completely forgot to share the returns of my bets from the last quarterfinal matches of champions league. Lucky me all my predictions were correct Xd, and the matches were so entertaining to watch. Most of the teams i can say that they ended things early in the first leg and heading to the semi-finals, except for AC Milan against Napoli which is not an easy match to predict even with Napoli's absences due to red and double yellow cards they had in first match, that’s why this match will be my favorite in leg two which is coming up next week.

I will put my guessing and bets like this:
Chelsea 1:2 Real Madrid
Napoli 1:1 Ac Milan
Bayern Munich 2:3 Manchester City
Inter 3:0 Benfica
Big wins for you before but for Leg 2 it looks like it will be a little complicated especially for Napoli x Milan, Bayern x Manchester City and Inter x Benfica matches.
As for the actual prediction, I'm not too different, but talking about this score is still difficult, I think, especially for 3-0 Inter and Benfica, even though for the first match they did beat Benfica convincingly.

A 0 - 2 defeat is still a lucky result for Chelsea as it was not a best day of Real Madrid attacking players. In their better days, they can score more goals to Chelsea and nail their position in Champions League semi final before their second meeting at Stamford Bridge.
Quite happy with this result, but actually I want Real Madrid to win by three goals. Two goals is not too much difference. Their second leg will be played at Stamford Bridge. We must remember how Dortmund had to fail to enter the quarterfinals. They failed to win at Stamford bridge. Anceloti should understand that. I hope they are in good shape and ready without injury in the second leg. This is because of my hope that they can win the UCL and of course the Copa Del Rey. So they will have three trophies this season.

Yes, 2 goals is not far enough away, so Real Madrid still have to make sure they don't lose focus in the second leg later. A Don Carlo seems to have understood things like this, because he is an experienced coach. He will not underestimate Chelsea, who have the conditions they are today. Borussia Dortmund should be a valuable lesson for them not to do the same.
It's clear that whether it's the first leg or the second leg, Real Madrid will continue to score the winning goal to ensure their step into the semifinals. On the other hand, maybe Chelsea is in poor form, but if Real Madrid make a few mistakes it can be a good opportunity for Chelsea to turn things around.

For Benzema at the moment he has a target to surpass his number of goals in the champions league from Lewandowski. Statistics record that Lewandowski has a total of 91 goals and Benzema has a total of 90 goals, this is only 1 goal away from being able to beat Lewandowski, who is currently the top scorer of the UCL in third place.

I will put my guessing and bets like this:
You guessed it right but it remains to be seen whether the field play is as per your guess. Because the teams who are fighting for the semi-finals of the Champions League are very experienced in the Champions League, so even if something unexpected happens in the first league, they have the ability to turn around in the second league.
Chelsea 1:2 Real Madrid
The first league match was played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home of Real Madrid. Real Madrid beat Chelsea 2-0 at home. Therefore, Real Madrid will enter the field with a different confidence before entering the field in the next match. In League Two, Stamford Bridge Stadium is Chelsea's home ground, but Real Madrid will be ahead and the number of goals may be higher than you expected.
Napoli 1:1 Ac Milan
Napoli are the first Serie A team to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But even if they trailed by one goal in the first league match, in the second league I would definitely want Napoli to win and secure the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the first time.
Bayern Munich 2:3 Manchester City
Second League match between Manchester City vs Bayern Munich will be held at Allianz Arena stadium. In this stadium we have seen many records of Bayern Munich. However, since Manchester City are in great form, considering their form, this match may be a draw. However, Aggregate will keep Manchester City ahead
Inter 3:0 Benfica
S.L. Benfica lost 2-0 to Inter Milan at their home ground, Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica Stadium. And in the Second League, the match between Inter Milan and Benfica will be held at the San Siro stadium. Where it can be assumed without a doubt that Inter Milan will win. If my predictions are correct then Inter Milan will win by minimum two goals against Benfica at San Siro stadium.

I'm not sure Chelsea will be able to turn things around in the second leg later, Real Madrid is a team that is strong enough to focus on the Champions League. Nothing special was done by Lampard in the first leg. Chelsea will be an easy opponent for Real Madrid if Chelsea game like the first leg will provide a great opportunity for Real Madrid to steal victory at Stamford Bridge.

On the other hand, I believe that Real Madrid are already in one place in the semifinals because a 0-2 advantage would mean a lot to them and it would be difficult for Chelsea to do the same.

Manchester city also has a place in the semifinals as a 3-0 win convinced me to say that.

Chelsea's problem is that now they have to concentrate on the game against Brighton. Brighton are strong this season + they have a huge motivation to score points as they are in the European Cup zone and clearly do not want to leave it. Chelsea can't afford to lose or draw this home game as it will make another bottom break. Therefore, despite the fact that in the tournament sense this game is not important, Chelsea must play it to the maximum. And after that, they will play with Real Madrid, which already have a two-goal lead.
Despite Chelsea losing to Madrid in the quarter-finals  first leg. I don't see them losing to Brighton as well when they clash this weekend at Stanford Bridge Frank Lampard will want to put his best into that match as his first home game since he was reappointed as Chelsea's head coach while Brighton will looking to make something out of this knowing how badly inform is Chelsea at the moment they will be trying to close the gap and get even if it's a point from Chelsea. after losing to Tottenham I see both team drawing the match as they have both met five of the last seven competitive and non-competitive between the two has ended in a draw
